Hi all - my dragon Embyr is almost a year old and for the past two months has been off. She is sleeping more, scratching at the floor of her viv, wanting lower basking temps, and on and off her feed. I need some help with diagnosis. She is in a 48X25X20 viv with a Repti-sun 10.0, 75 watt...

I have a dire situation with our boy Spark. Before I explain his situation, I must explain that I am a feeder . . . someone who gains emotional satisfaction from feeding others. I could never own a greyhound or whippet because they are skinny by nature and I would obsessively worry about what...

Hey all - I have a question for the experts. Is it possible that my seven month old dragon has just now decided she needs to try and brumate? She is acting the way Spark started to in October. Three days ago she started to put herself to bed early. (5:30 ish - just after dinner time). She is...

Hi! I am Foster. I am a two year old three-legged beardie looking for a girl beardie to spend time with . . . I like hanging out with my friends Rubio, Spark, Puff and Ember. We get together on the weekends to play Guitar Hero, watch movies, go to the beach or just hang out with our friends. I...

Hi all - I need some help with retained shed. Ember has two spots of shed over her eyes that are not loosening or coming free. She shed the rest of her head two weeks ago. I've been treating with aloe and neosporin (not at the same time) hoping it would help loosen the shed. She hasn't shed her...

To give some background, . . . I was given a wonderful little beardie who had been rescued by a member of BD two weeks ago. She was dehydrated, with retained shed and bite scars from crickets. The BD member had her one day and then had a family emergency. He sent her to me, because he couldn't...

I received a beardie who had been rescued. She was dehydrated and did not look to be doing well when she was rescued. I received her on Thursday and have been feeding her squash and chicken baby food. She's a good eater. She also eats dandelion leaves. Today she ate a few waxworms (yes, I know...

Hey all - I am converting a dresser into a double viv. It is going to be 48X18X16 in both compartments. There will be a 18X 16 door on one end, a small non-opening front, and then another 18 x 16 door on the other end. That way I don't have to worry about a beardie jumping out or hurting...

Hi all - was at a reptile show this weekend and saw a little beardie that was basically dark grey (charcoal colored) with red bars on his back. I was wondering if anyone knew a breeder that was breeding dark dragons? And what the color morph would be designated? I'm hoping to be able to get a...

Hi all. I have a question. . . is it normal for a seven to eight month old dragon to do nothing but bask? Spark will leave his basking spot to poo, which he does every day on his carpet, or to eat, but otherwise he is always on his log. Sometimes he lays with his belly directly under the light...

Hey Kat - Thought I'd post under general and you can bring your girl here to see him. Spark posing in the window. . . he was very nervous. He hopes Tazzie thinks he's handsome. From the left. . . . From the right . . . A close up . . . In his bachelor pad. . . Spark hopes Tazzie...

We are thinking about getting a second beardie. He is being put up for adoption by his owner, who hatched him. The owner says he is about a year and a half old. He's being kept in a 55 g (which will be replaced by a 40g breeder if we get him) with a Repti-Sun 5.0. He is only 15 - 16 inches long...

My son's beardie (I'm sharing ownership until I get my own) Spark is in great health. He eats great every day, is active, nice and fat. He is between 5 and 6 months old (or so we were told - his is between 12 - 13 inches long) and a great eater. He is handfed squash 2 X day, eats about a half...

Well, Spark got to come out of his viv and explore for the first time today. We've taken him out and let him sit on the bed before this, but all he would do was crouch down and try to become one with the bed. When we took him out today, he stood up and looked around. Eventually he crawled down...

I want to relate the story of Ash. It starts with a fish tank. My almost nine year old son decided he wanted a fish, or a fish tank. He had saved almost a hundred dollars of allowance money and wanted to buy himself a tank and some fish. I've had fish tanks before and really didn't want to have...

I have a question - currently I am feeding gut loaded crickets and silkies to my dragon. Is there a reason to feed both? I know silkies can be fed all the time according to the nutrition chart, . . .do I still need to feed crickets. . . other than my dragon loves them. And they are way less...

Okay, you are all going to think I am mental, but I worry a lot about our dragon Spark (or Sparkle - still can't figure out what sex it is). We lost our first dragon, Ash, on April 3rd, to causes that are undetermined (still haven't gotten the results of the necropsy back) and I don't want to...

My son decided six weeks ago that he wanted a fish tank or a turtle or maybe a lizard. We started looking at lizards (I've done fish and didn't want to go that route again) and we fell in love with Ash. My son agreed that Ash could be his early birthday present and so we brought him home. It...

Has any one used alfalfa meal (small pellets) as a substrate in their cage? I am currently using it and want to make sure there aren't any issues. The pellets are really small and made only of pressed alfalfa. I choose this because Ash likes to sample his environment and alfalfa is one of the...

I would like to introduce Ash - our new bearded dragon. He is my son's ninth birthday present. We have never had a reptile before and are a little worried about doing things right. Ash is close to a year old, we were told. He is in a 20 gallon long aquarium, with reptisand, a water bowl, wood...
